About this tour
A 2-hour evening tapas tour through three local bars in Alicante, where you'll taste 8 tapas and 3 drinks alongside a guide who knows which spots residents actually frequent. You'll eat what locals eat rather than what's marketed to tourists, moving between venues on foot through the city's quieter neighbourhoods. Best suited to anyone after authentic Spanish food without the formula-tour feeling.
Highlights
- Eight tapas across three separate bars, mix of shared and individual plates
- Three drinks included — beer, wine, water, or soft drink
- Bars chosen for local clientele, not tourist footfall
- Evening timing captures the real Alicante night-time social scene
- Guide provides context on what you're eating and why it matters locally
- Walkable route, no transport between venues required
- Accessible to all fitness levels and pram-friendly
What to expect
You'll meet your guide and head to the first bar, where you'll order drinks and settle in with your opening tapas. The guide will explain the dishes and local eating culture as you eat. After 30–40 minutes, you'll move to bar two for a second round of food and drink, then a third venue for the final tapas course. The pace lets you linger and chat rather than rush; you're eating at a normal Spanish evening tempo, not a staged tasting-menu clip. You'll finish back near where you started, around two hours after you began.

Good to know
This suits anyone who enjoys Spanish food, wants to eat like a local does, or is curious about Alicante's actual bar culture rather than tourist zones. You'll be on your feet and walking between bars, though distances are short and the pace is leisurely. Evening means some bars may be noisier and more crowded than daytime; if you prefer quiet or calm, this won't feel that way. The tour is pram-friendly and suitable for all fitness levels. Drinks and food are included; no additional tapas purchases are required, though you're free to order more at your own cost. Group size isn't specified; assume small to medium. Booking in advance is sensible for evening tours in peak season.
